my first post

Hi all. So I'm trying something new today. I have the feeling at the moment that I'm writing to myself, which is difficult to do...is that the same as talking to yourself? I hope not ;o) I'm supposed to be working my real job, web developer, but it's so hard to concentrate on Mondays, so I'm taking a short little break to regroup. I would love to be at home right now hammering or sawing on a piece of sterling silver or creating something with my metal clay (PMC). For anyone who doesn't know what metal clay is, it consists of tiny particles of silver that are inside a clay binder. You shape it just like you would regular clay. Let it dry, file it smooth and then fire it with a torch or a kiln. I invested in a kiln. After the clay binder burns off, all that is left is 99.9% pure silver. The photo shown is a necklace made from metal clay.

I made quite a few pieces of jewelry this weekend...gearing up for the holidays! Andrew (my Sweetie) watched football while I played with metal and beads. Perfect day! I hope your weekend was as nice as mine. That's all for my first post. Thanks for reading what little I put together. I plan to write more about my upcoming pieces. I will also be taking some new classes soon which I would love to share with you all.
